Give me a character from any fandom I know (helpfully listed below) and I will give you: 

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why


y'all know my fandoms, but to recap - FMA, Yuugiou, Watchmen, Kuroshitsuji....those're the main ones right now, I think.

So. Let me inflict my opinions on you.

Kaiba first.

[starsplinter.livejournal.com]

A. Prideshipping. This is partially your fault. I think...there's definite canon subtext here - it always makes me laugh in DK how Yami is all, "oh okay we'll go help Grandpa WHAT KAIBA IS HURT HOW DARE PEGASUS HE WILL PAY." Kaiba is almost worst, what with all the "you make my blood burn" lines and all. More than that, though, I think they are a good match - they exist in the same world; shaded six degrees or so off of normal, an extreme place that few survive in, but those who do find normal life an ill fit afterward. Kaiba honestly respects Yami, and *wants* him (wants him as a lover or a rival but *there*) which is more than can be said for most people.

B. Kaiba/YnB. Again, these two have that same sense of... companionship in the abnormal, almost. A sense that even if they're both insane and fucked up, at least they make sense to each other. Also, they operate the same ways - if his family had been murdered and a demon had been handy, you know Seto would have struck the deal in a heartbeat. Plus, I think they'd enjoy trying to outwit each other via the security systems - YnB trying to break in and Kaiba trying to catch him.

C. ....hmm. Probably Kaiba/Jouno. It could happen, but it wouldn't be pretty. Not that *that* ever stops me, but...part of it is that honestly, Jouno bores me to tears, and there's that sense of companionship that's missing. Jouno and Kaiba exist in different worlds, operating in different spheres. They... don't speak each other's language, and neither is particularly interested in learning. Mostly it's the lack of interest in Jouno for me, I think. He's fine, but he's not my bunny.

D. Kaiba was not sexually abused. There might have been innuendo, but Gozy never really touched him. He's been through enough, fans, Plz stop it.

E. Hurm. I agree, Shizuka. She wouldn't even register on his vision, and if she did would blast her for loving Jouno, who he probably thinks is an even bigger failure at big-brother-ness than himself. (She wouldn't like him much either, honestly. She's protective of Jouno, and would not cavort go with someone he hated.)

I know. I love the way Yami goes from “I’ll never forgive you, Kaiba!” to PEGASUS HOW DARE YOU!!!!1111!!!!! without being aware of the switch.

I agree about Jounouchi too – the thing I find most interesting about him is that he really seems okay with the whole I tried my best and that’s okay even if I didn’t take first place thing – and I can’t imagine an attitude that Kaiba would find harder to understand or respect - although it would be a sign of a healthier outlook if he could (lol).
